Dancing Acorn Ikat Indian Cotton - Merchant & Mills

A delicate ikat pattern in brown and ecru.

Ikat is a resist dyeing technique where the threads used for weaving are dyed beforehand. The Ikat threads are bound in a pattern so that the threads covered by the binding 'resist' the dye, creating a design.  The more binding done before weaving, the more complicated the pattern.

Suitable for dresses and tops, this cotton is lightweight and soft.

• Wash at 30 degrees with a non bio detergent. 
• Ikat cloth is prone to slubs and often have ties in the cloth where one weaver ends and another begins, the ties will be on the wrong side of the cloth.
• As our Indian fabrics are handmade, they are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave or print, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
• For the first couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at 30 or 40 degrees with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye to prevent it running.
